>and some were unable to identify that the word “industrious” means “to be hard working.” Calling out just one question is pretty disingenuous I'm willing to admit, but this is giving me flashbacks to probably countless examples like this on reading tests I took. I haven't seen the text this came from so maybe the context is obvious, or maybe it's listed first in every 8th grade English textbook, but I apparently didn't know what 'industrious' meant. And I read quite a bit.
